An ideal client is one who is being just who they are in spite of all the challenges or concerns they may be dealing with.
I have weekend and some evening hours.
I work as a counselor and as an instructor for SUDC students at CVTC. I have a masters degree in counseling from the University of Iowa and am credentialed with a LPC and CSAC in Wisconsin. I work with persons who have issues related to emotional well-being, whether mental health, adjustment related, substance-use related, or couple's issues.
I have worked in a private practice setting for 12 years. I have experience with emergency work at a ER (primary suicidal assessments). I have worked in substance use disorder agencies (hospitals and clinics, inpatient and outpatient, small non-profit and a few which are profit-based). I have extensive work with employee assistance counseling. I have also worked with clients with correctional issues.
Getting to understand what one is going through is a priority. Developing a working alliance with that person is essential. Patient empowerment and collaborative problem solving are cued in on.

Troy is very friendly and understanding. He sends me a clickable resources that I can work on outside of therapy. He is flexible with his scheduling and I appreciate the insights he has given me. I look forward to continuing to work with him in the future.

Troy has truly been a life saver. I felt heard and seen and didn’t feel any judgement. I feel like I was scared that my mental health concerns wouldn’t be taken seriously but I felt the exact opposite from him.
